I avoid big cities at all cost. Never been east of the big muddy. I hate going to Seattle although right now with all the shut downs is a great time to go look around although I still don't do it. Didn't lose anything down there I have to go look for. The town I grew up in used to be just a little town, now a thriving metropolis I also avoid at all cost.
Mom and sister still live in the thick of it, hate going there.
It's of course not like Chicago or New York far as gangs and wanton crime and corruption but just too damn many people.
